Tonight I believe I have witnessed something magnificent. A piece of link building which is truly black hat and sums up what we should all aspire to be like.
To set the story, Charles Floate this morning was guest published on the Ahrefs.com blog, this is the post:
https://blog.ahrefs.com/remove-google-penalty-302-redirect/
As usual for work by this person, the article was sub-par and very poor and frankly it was just another case of false information packaged up for the noobs to read, but what happened next is the genius part.
The real charles floate twitter handle is @Charles_SEO, but you may not know that there is a troll twitter handle of a parody account called @GodofSEO. @GodofSEO with a few simple tweets has just stolen the credit for this article, and ahrefs are now promoting the troll account as the real charles floate.
As usual, ahrefs tweeted out the link, crediting the real author:

A quick reply, just 6 words long was all it took from @GodofSEO (the troll):

THEY FELL FOR IT!

But is this the end? NO! Not happy with his efforts our grand wizard troll wants Ahrefs to update their website links as well!

They even appologized... Now I have checked the Ahrefs website, they don't appear to have updated the link but this could be a cache delay... the real test will be to see if its updated in a few days time.

Be inspired, use this tactic and steal the internet.
